Margaret Mize Thistlethwaite, 1919-2008
We are greatly saddened by the death of Margaret Thistlethwaite on August 27, 2008.
Margaret, a founding member, served on the Executive Board of the Henrico County Historical Society in a number of capacities including 1st Vice President, Corresponding Secretary, and Director of the Three Chopt District.
During her service with the Historical Society, Margaret was especially concerned with preservation and regretted the loss of any historic property. She was tireless in promoting the history of Henrico and encouraged the saving of Walkerton, cedar HIll and Nuckols Farm, all of which were puchased by Henrico County. Margaret represented the Three Chopt District on the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee and was also Director of the Three Chopt District for the Association for the Preservation of Henrico Antiquities.
Margaret was instrumental in the recognition of Oak Grove as a threatened property. The current owners were the recipients of the 2008 Historic Prservation Advisory Committee Award of Merit for their restoration of the historic property at a ceremony held on October 30th; and so her work continues.
We will miss her smile and her dedication to the history of Henrico County.
She is survived by one daughter, Margaret Mize Jones and her husband, Glenn; three sons, Gary Mize and wife Betty, John Mize and wife, Sharon, and Dennis Mize and wife Pat; one stepson, Bob Thistlethwaite Jr; seven grandchildren, David Mize, Craig Mize, Susie Mize, Frankie Mize, Nicki Jones, Tim Mize, and Debbie Greene; eight great-grandchildren; and one sister, Virginia Snelson.
